Surprisingly hard though. Even if you have defensive field with a third man, forcing them to go outside off will always work better. If they have to slash, make it risky at least.

Cummins bowling too straight here.
Yeah, you’d rather them playing the high risk shots to get their runs rather than pecking away at you with these simple singles and doubles.

Who are neutrals supporting in this series?

I'd love a rain affected 0-0. Australia still wouldn't get a series win in England, England wouldn't reclaim the Ashes, and it would damage both teams' chances in the new WTC cycle.

Australia seem to be hoping that England get impatient with getting 4 runs an over with singles and twos instead of going a run-a-ball with a boundary an over.

Can England stay happy at this rare and how long can Australia accept this defensive mindset? A battle of wills at this point.
